Stupid Questions That My Friend the Cadet Asks

[Darrik 0]

Okay, I know I'm still new here, but there always seems to be a new cadet with questions about STSF, no matter how bizzar and disturbing they are (but are there any other types of questions on STSF?). So, I thought I would gather up those questions, and post them here for everyone to laugh at, and maybe even answer them for me. So, here it goes.

 

1. Why is a giant tomcat with purple eyes flying this ship?

2. What's a delphin ,garnoopy, catian, ect.?

3. Wait, Van Roy played Al Bundy on "Married With Children"?

4. Wait, one of our gods is a pudgy man wearing a coconut bra and a grass skirt?

5. What does snarkle mean? (oh wait, even experienced simmers aren't sure about that)

6. Does anyone want to be my AA buddy today?

7. Is Darrik mental? (same as #5)

8. I wonder what will happen if I call Blu, "Bluz"?

and my favorite,

9. A9? That's like the steaksauce, right?

We've told you this a few times . . . you might want to rephrase that or else people will answer yes to question number 7.

Reposting from my post of December 1, 2003 on these boards. Parts of this post are reposted from an old post of mine in November 1997, which were reposted from a post 1995.

 

This quick note is in answer to several questions that I have recieved about where I have gotten my information on Cait. Although, there are two different Caitians shown at the trial in Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home, just after they arrive back with the whales, and prior to the trial, one speaking to the Andorian, we are not at all mentioned in any of the current Star Trek literature. There was a felinoid-like creature, that some believe (I don't), might also be a Caitian, attacking Captain Kirk in the bar in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Sadly, most of the newer versions of the encyclopedias, and sourcebooks, do not even mention Caitians. They can still be found in several of the TOS era Pocket Books. The below listed info, was something I had posted back in 1996, and is not a complete listing of Caitian history or info. I have been unable to locate my most current and updated copy listing all references to Caitians in all Star Trek literature.

 

Early references place Cait as one of the original 5 member worlds of the Federation, with the others being Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar.

 

I have three main references, all of which have Paramount stamped on them, making them somewhat official, if you want to look at it that way. My main reference is from my old, battered copies of Star Trek: The Role Playing Game. Copyright, 1966. Copyright 1983 updated. Published by FASA Corporation under exclusive license from Paramount Pictures Corporation, the trademark owner. Anyway, in answer to those with questions, and whom do not have access to this sourcebook, here is Cait as presented nearly 38 years ago.

 

"Cait is located in the Northeast Quadrant of Federation space at map coordinates

1.80 N by 2.16 E. It has a population of 7.65 billion, is a Federation member planet, and it's Planetary Profile concerns include, Culture, Industry, Shipbuilding, and Trade Centers. Cait is a lush, tropical world, whose race of intelligent feliniods is among the newest races to join the Federation. Resembling Terran felines, Caitians are thick-furred beings, light gold to dark brown in color. When first contacted, the Caitian civilization was considerably advanced, with an emphasis in the physical and biomedical sciences,even though Caitians had never ventured beyond their own planet.

 

Despite their predatory appearance, Caitians are extremely peaceful and have strong individual and group loyalties. Cait maintains a large starship construction facility capable of producing a wide range of military and commercial craft each year. The planet is currently represented on the Federation Council. M-class planet, position in system - 4th, 2 satellites, lenght of day = 27 hrs., planetary gravity = 1.25 g. Average annual production rates of Military and commercial vessels: Cruisers = 4, Escort Ships=30, Frigates = 18,Personel Transports 7, Warp Shuttles = 47, commercial ships = 18.

 

Caitians walk erect as humans,extremely fast, acute sense of sight and smell, high physical beauty, but less hardy than humans."

 

Another main reference is the "Worlds of the Federation" book by Shane Johnson, 1989. There are some slight differences, but nothing major. In this reference, the Caitian homeworld, is 2nd in placement from it's sun, not 4th. Here is an excerpt from this source regarding Cait.

 

Cait (M-Class), called Ferasa in the Caitian tongue. 15 Lyncis, coordinates [ 41.9, -228.3, -12.6]

 

Cait is the 2nd planet of 12 orbiting a moderate-sized yellow star. It is the only habitable planet in it's system, and has 2 moons, Rea and Sura.

 

The native Caitians are a distinctly feline race, and it is believed that they are the descendants of an ancient Kzinti colonization group. They are bipedal, with a thick orange mane, long tail and large golden eyes that provide excellent low-light vision. The Caitian language consists of multiple soft tones, spoken with a deep, purring resonance; this style of communication makes it difficult for Caitians to adapt to phonetic languages.

 

Caitians have excellent hearing, with a frequency range far beyond that heard by normal humanoids. For this reasonmost Caitians that enter Starfleet specialize in communications and sonic sciences.

 

Unlike the Kzinti, the Caitian race is not hostile in nature. Their reputation as one of the most cooperative and intelligent members of the Federation makes Caitian crewmembers much sought-after throughout Starfleet.

 

The asteroid belt that lies between the fifth and sixth planets of the Caitian system is an abundant source of ores and valuable minerals, not the least of which is dilitium. Orbital refining platforms within the belt, provide a large percentage of the dilitium crystals used in this area of Federation space.

 

The 3rd main reference is of course, Star Trek The Animated Series. Paramount involved. Roddenberry involved, most of original cast involved. The Caitian in question is Lt. M'Ress, and she can be observed for an idea of how Caitians are.

 

There are other tidbits noted in literature, but at this time, I'll have to look for at a later date when I find some more time. There are a few of the TOS pocket books that have referneces, as well as the TAS comic books. I'll try to list them at a later date.

 

As for your original question, most female Caitians begin their name with a M' while males use a S' . I would try to stay with soft tones, try purring the name as you say it. Nothing harsh with hard K's, D's, C's ect.

You know...maybe we should set up a page, with information on the different species in Trek.

 

It'd help alot of people make characters other then just Humans.

[Tachyon 0]

And what's wrong with being Human? We gave the universe tea, pocket fluff, digital watches, television, and paperclips.

 

Of course, all of those accomplishments are nothing compared to the havoc and terror we've unleashed with reality TV and . . . Microsoft.

Don't insult Microsoft. Who else do you think will create Microsoft Warp?

 

Oh, and only humans still think that digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

 

Oh, and tv will no longer be the main source of entertainment by the year 2040, according to the Data and some Star Trek Timeline book.

Great references Blu. I've been a fan of the Caitians since the Animated series. They were mentioned in many of the early 70's pocket books. (Like the Star Trek Log series) Two aurthors here in Louisiana, Sandra Marshak and Vonda Mckntyre wrote a great deal about the Caitian race in their novels, also persuading Roddenberry to include them in Star Trek 4. I played the original RPG back in elementary and junior/senior high, then in college. I always played Caitian characters. I would love to see them included in the new movie and maybe even Enterprise. (Hmmm, maybe a Cait lovers letter writing campaign is in order.) :mellow: Thanks for the info. I've got a small description of Caitians on my game page, I found at another RPG site.

 

Zaphod,

Au Lloann'na scum did na invent any of these things before the Rihanssu. We invted tea ages before au pathetic society did, pocket fluff has always been a major export of the Rihannsu, digital watches and televison were also Rihan inventions, and au 'paperclips' were first invented by the Rihan Industrialist M'Ead as torture tool! Infact au can na even claim Microsoft! Bill Gates is/was a Tal'Shiar opperative ment to cripple aur society with flawed Windows Operating Systems that au would have to continually upgrade. And May I add that the Rihan Empire has made quite the killing of au silly Lloann'na!

It was that Dumbass that said it!

Fine, I'll change the question to;

 

Who's that sexy beast wearing a coconut bra and grass skirt?
